Jennifer Aniston: So she felt after the separation from Brad Pitt

Jennifer Aniston is not only considered everybody’s Darling at the fans, you can also hear the great affection for the “Friends” star with her friends. In a conversation with “Vanity Fair”, the actress now spoke openly about the probably public phase of her life: the separation from Brad Pitt. Your friends and herself explain what this time has changed.

Sandra Bullock, a close girlfriend of Aniston’s, describes her as a person with a remarkable ability: “I think her superpower is that she can be very hard, but is incredibly open at the same time”. “People want to learn something about them, understand where they are in life and want them to be happy.” For many years, the public was also looking forward to whether the actress would find great love again after her (ex-) man abruptly came together with Angelina Jolie and quickly founded a family.

Aniston also combines a long -term friendship with Hollywood star Gwyneth Paltrow. Both got to know each other decades ago while filming “The Pallbearer”. The love interests of the two women overlap both on the screen and privately. “Ironically, I was on her and Brad’s engagement ceremony,” recalls Aniston – and means Pitt, who made two women a marriage proposal.

The man has disappeared from both life, but her friendship survived the Pitt era. Have you ever talking about him? “Oh, of course,” says Aniston with a laugh and sounds like her “Friends” figure Rachel Green. “How could we not? We are girls.” Nevertheless, your conversations are more about health tips than gossip: “We constantly exchange advice: ‘What do you do for it? What do you do for it? Do you have a new doctor for this?'”

Despite her positive charisma, Aniston could not simply wipe away the media avalanche at the time. The break by Jennifer Aniston and Brad Pitt and the speculation about a love affair by her husband at the time to Angelina Jolie triggered a wave in the press. She herself calls this phase “the love triangle” and describes her survival strategy: “Just pull yourself up on your own hair and go on, girl”, she is said to have said again and again.

“It was an exciting reading for people. If there were no soap operators, there were the tabloids,” she says. “It’s a shame that it had to come, but it happened. And I took it personally.” The media would have built them up just to drop them again, according to Aniston, who felt like a piñata during this time.

Since Justin Theroux’s mutual separation in 2018, Aniston has no longer been publicly associated with permanent partners. “It doesn’t surprise me that she is not a serial woman, not because she is excessively picky or snooty,” says actor Jason Bateman, another friend of Anistons. “You don’t have to be a superhero to attract your attention. If you feel comfortable in your skin, she will feel drawn to you. The challenge for a man is to not be distracted beyond her fame, her charisma, her presence and beauty – and concentrate on the essentials.”

Today Aniston looks more balanced than ever. Friends say that she is “very Zen” privately and lives withdrawn in Los Angeles. Perhaps this is exactly her secret: she learned that true life does not take place in the headlines, but in the quiet moments in between.
